Fast voice typing in your browser

Talking is three times faster than typing. Choose the language you'll speak, press Start speaking, and your words are transcribed live using your browser's speech recognition. Keep talking as long as you like — the session restarts automatically after pauses until you press Stop.

For English, say “comma”, “full stop”, “question mark” or “new line” and they're turned into punctuation. The transcript is fully editable, and you can copy it or download it as a text file.

How to use voice typing

    Words appear as you talk; grey text is still being recognised.

Tips and good to know

  • Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a computer, or Chrome/Safari on a phone. Firefox doesn't support speech recognition yet.
  • A headset microphone in a quiet room gives far better accuracy than a laptop mic.
  • Speak in complete phrases at a natural pace — recognition works better on sentences than single words.

Frequently asked questions

Can I type in Hindi by voice?

Yes. Choose हिन्दी Hindi and speak; the text appears in Devanagari script.

Which browsers support speech to text?

Chrome, Edge and Safari (desktop and mobile). Firefox doesn't support the Web Speech API for recognition.

Is my voice recorded or stored?

MixTool never receives your audio or text. In Chrome and Edge, audio is sent to the browser maker's speech service to be transcribed; Safari may process it on the device.

Why did it stop listening?

Browsers end recognition after long silence or if the connection drops. Press Start speaking again to continue — your text is kept.
